6. The Value of Cycling
A recent research study conducted by University of Birmingham
on ‘The Value of Cycling’ has shown the benefits of a cycle scheme
for both the employer and the employee.
For the prospective employee, ease of physical access to work
opportunities is central to the ability to gain employment and
cycling provides a tool by which joblessness due to access of
transport and costs, may be overcome for some social groups.
Cycling to work results in reduced absenteeism, with regular
cycle commuters having on average one day less sickness
absence per annum than other people.
Cycle facilities are now a factor in the career choice for over half
the respondents to a British Council survey and furthermore,
promotion of cycling to work has led to lower job turnover.
